LYON, France, May 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq:EDAP), the global leader in therapeutic ultrasound, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 and provided an update on recent strategic developments.

Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "This quarter is in line with our normal business cycle, while Q1 2014 was an exceptional one for the Company with five HIFU systems sold. More specifically, our results in the first quarter of 2015 reflect the continued momentum in HIFU treatments, as we achieved a 17% year-over-year increase in procedure-driven revenue from the HIFU division. This positive trend confirms the increasing adoption of HIFU among urologists and a growing appreciation of the technology as a safe and effective therapeutic option for prostate cancer patients."

Mr. Oczachowski added, "We are pleased to announce that, as planned, we submitted our Direct De Novo 510(k) petition for Ablatherm HIFU to the FDA after the close of the first quarter, and look forward to moving ahead with the review process."

Total revenue in the HIFU business for the quarter was EUR 1.6 million (USD 1.8 million). HIFU revenue included the sale of one Focal One system in Canada.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, total revenue for the Lithotripsy division was EUR 4.6 million (USD 5.1 million), compared to EUR 4.5 million (USD 6.1 million), during the year ago period.

Gross profit for the first quarter 2015 was EUR 2.6 million (USD 2.9 million), compared to EUR 3.6 million (USD 4.9 million) for the year ago period. Gross profit margin on net sales was 41.5% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to 45.9% in the year ago period.

Operating expenses were EUR 3.2 million (USD 3.5 million) for the first quarter 2015, compared to EUR 3.0 million (USD 4.1 million) for the same period in 2014.

Operating loss for the first quarter was EUR 622,000 (USD 689,000), compared with operating income in the first quarter of 2014 of EUR 558,000 (USD 765,000).

Net loss for the first quarter 2015 was EUR 2.4 million (USD 2.7 million), or EUR 0.10 per diluted share, as compared to net income of EUR 840,000 (USD 1.1 million), or EUR 0.04 per diluted share, in the year ago period.

About EDAP TMS SA

EDAP TMS SA markets today Ablatherm® for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of localized prostate cancer outside the U.S. HIFU treatment is shown to be a minimally invasive and effective treatment option with a low occurrence of side effects. Ablatherm-HIFU is generally recommended for patients with localized prostate cancer (stages T1-T2) who are not candidates for surgery or who prefer an alternative option, or for patients who failed radiotherapy treatment. Ablatherm-HIFU is approved for commercial distribution in Europe and some other countries including Mexico and Canada. EDAP TMS is currently pursuing a Direct De Novo 510(K) petition in parallel to a PMA for Ablatherm clearance by the U.S. FDA. The Company also markets an innovative robot-assisted HIFU device, the Focal One®, dedicated to focal therapy of prostate cancer. Focal One® is CE marked but is not FDA approved. The Company also develops its HIFU technology for the potential treatment of certain other types of tumors. EDAP TMS SA also produces and distributes medical equipment (the Sonolith® lithotripters' range) for the treatment of urinary tract stones using extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in most countries including Canada and the U.S. For more information on the Company, please visit http://www.edap-tms.com, and http://www.hifu-planet.com.
